Pros: Small and light, sturdy, basic in physical controls but not in options; Remarkable burst

Cons: The IR light that helps in MAF impacts with mid-length lenses; ditto the built-in flash

Opinion: Having two Olympus EM-1 both shaky (battery contacts and rear ring unreliable), having understood that they are really irremediable defects of this model, and not wanting to spend important amounts, after reading positive comments on the EVF I thought of getting this camera; I confirm that the EVF is good, big and bright and even better than that of the EM-1: for example it allows you to do everything without taking your eye off, even review the images; however, the rubber is low and in certain conditions the external light disturbs the vision a lot; The articulated screen is very useful for selfies and close-ups; if you activate the Spot exposure, when you press halfway the center is enlarged, very practical; sure, it lacks Live Composite, but it's a feature I've rarely used and I don't consider it essential; it's a bit smaller than the EM-1 to hold, but not too much to bother, and I'll always keep it attached to a shoulder strap; it's not stabilized, but the stabilization of my Pana 14-45 is more than enough; the 20fps (JPG) burst with electronic shutter is remarkable; Last but not least, a menu that is finally simple and intuitive; Touch works well by pressing your finger long enough, but I haven't yet tried it in the field in closeups where it can be useful

Pros: Compact, comfortable grip, rationally arranged menus and keys, fully adjustable LCD screen, excellent viewfinder.

Cons: Not stabilized.

Opinion: I bought this car (used) at a very low price 12 years after its release on the market to have a "forklift" to use more light-heartedly than my flagship. I am fully satisfied: it is small, light, ideal for the street. The sensor has a good yield, suffers relatively little noise. There are only two customizable buttons, but for an entry level it is normal and is a limit that is compensated by the ease of the quick menu and the button-wheel. Special mention for the viewfinder, we work very well.

Pros: Small compact, robust, ergonomic, well-profiled keys. Good viewfinder and screen, touch a bit dated but usable. excellent image quality

Cons: For the price paid nothing

Opinion: I took this camera, of a very particular violet color, for less than 40 euros, with charger and two batteries, in perfect state, without a scratch, to use it with vintage lenses, pinholes and CCTV lenses. I am very satisfied to the point that I also use it as a second body with other goals. The viewfinder is really good, better than many newer cameras, even if it does not activate automatically by approaching the eye but with a dedicated button. Selfies can also be taken with the screen. advisable

Pros: Compact size, light weight and portability, discreet solid construction, comfort and ergonomic grip despite the very small size. Good also the layout of the keys. Great flexibility for the possibility to also use the optical Vintage (manually) without major problems and without vignetting, in addition to those of the 4/3 system with adapter also not original. electronic viewfinder more than adequate as an alternative to a comfortable and clear display.

Cons: Cons: Battery from limited duration (which I have never planted a sudden ace). The stabilization in the Lumix system is on the objectives, so other optics do not benefit as on Olympus.

Opinion: I bought this as a second body G3 used car, including two batteries, England (auction). Less than 100 € I am in the hands of one of the 2012 copies limited edition for the 2012 London (no Olympics, does not achieve the best sports photos!) With logo and dedicated shoulder. With a simultaneous pressing of keys mechanism worthy of a contortionist I also displayed the photos taken previously: 800 (in practice as new). It does not appear at all overcome, despite his age ... Especially you perfectly in your hand and no visible decrease in image quality compared to my Olympus PEN E-PL7, it shares the optics. What more?
